The global oral mucositis market size was USD 1.42 billion in 2021 and is expected to touch USD 1.93 billion by 2028, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.0% during the forecasted period.

Mucositis is a disease developed when cancer therapies destroy the gastrointestinal tract's epithelial cells, leaving the mucosal tissue vulnerable to ulceration and infection. It is an oral cavity formed due to this and is a prevalent side effect of cancer therapy treatment, mainly consisting of chemotherapy and radiation. It causes several issues, such as nutritional issues and issues in the mucosal tract due to the spread of infection and a weak immune system in the patient.

Mucositis is produced mainly by chemotherapy due to a low WBC (white blood cell) count, while radiation causes inflammatory and necrotic action on the oral mucosa. Oral mucositis is diagnosed based on the location, appearance, and duration of oral lesions, along with the medical history of the patient's family, which may explain the cause of the condition and would help provide the proper treatment and therapy associated with the disease.

COVID-19 Impact: Diversion of Attention to Pandemic Hampered Market Growth and Share

The market is expected to see a rapid increase in the supply, production, and need for mucositis treatment during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic was unprecedented & staggering, with oral mucositis' experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic times. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels post the pandemic.

The diversion of attention towards the pandemic and the lack of healthcare facilities in hospitals and clinics severely hampered the market growth and share of the mucositis market. The lack of awareness, the spread of the pandemic in developed regions, rising inflation, decreasing disposable consumer income, and focus on finding a cure for the virus negatively affected the market share and demand of the market, leading to revenue losses for investors worldwide.
